OH BOY, the last group of animals we're going to cover: the Hominids (Family Hominidae)

Please watch my super not dorky videos below in which I explain what a hominid is, what a hominin is, and the first genus of humans: the Australopithecines (not from Australia!), and what makes the genus Homo special. 

Please take notes either on paper and upload a picture, or on a google doc and link it.
